Do you use the API?

I leave it on default and hit r1 before every pitch and literally allow the catcher to call the game. I seldom call the catcher off.

What’s your strategy?

I used it in 19 with pretty good success. This year though, I'm getting shelled with it on.

I use it. I like the way the game plays when I let the catcher call the game. I do wish there was a rating for the catcher that impacted the way he called the game. Higher the rating better overall pitch/location selection.

If you use it all the time why don't you just turn it on instead of auto?

I agree with catcher rating. Going to auto is a good point. I think I’ve just got in a habit of hitting it every time, might be weird just to have it pop up lol.

Re: Do you use the API?

Same strategy as op, normally the only time I call it off is if I select the wrong pitch by accident lol.

One question tho,

Before some pitches, it does that weird cinematic type view before you select your pitch. Then when you select your pitch it doesn't suggest a location, is there a way to make it so that it does?

Hopefully that made sense

Absolutely! A rating for catchers for calling a game, plus a rating for pitch framing, and how they handle the pitching staff. Like “confidence” or something by how well they calm/settle a rattled pitcher down.

It's in the presentation settings. Something like dynamic camera. Default is to pitching only. I just turned it off.
